Pediatric Wizards

The Magic of Caring!!! There are two separate waiting rooms to accommodate both sick and well children.

Dr. Helft has been caring for the children of Brevard County for almost twenty years and has built a well-respected pediatric practice known as Pediatric Wizards. As part of his commitment to children, Dr. Helft has taken part in a medical mission trip to Nicaragua and takes great pride in caring for the children of our military service members. His bright, fun, kid-centered office, located at 131

0 West Eau Gallie Boulevard in Melbourne, starts with a yellow brick road leading to a Medieval Castle at the front desk. A sleeping dragon in the hallway leads the children to four exam rooms, each with a different theme to make patients of all ages feel comfortable. Parents love to see photos of their children posted on the walls, along with lots of sports memorabilia as Dr. Helft is a huge sports fan. Both healthy and sick children get excited to visit The Wizard and his Castle. The office has recently decided to open its Castle doors and accept new patients (so long as the family is willing to vaccinate, even using a modified schedule). Patients are accepted on an individual basis so that the practitioner sees no more than an average of thirty patients per day. Dr. Helft strongly believes in quality over quantity, and therefore believes that seeing a higher volume of patients (as most other pediatric practices do) would compromise the quality of care provided. He also realizes that waiting for long periods of time is unacceptable to busy parents and that patients should never be treated like a number. The office strives to make every family feel special and have their children receive the care and attention that they deserve. The Pediatric Wizards’ motto is “The Magic of Caring”, and every staff member is held to high standards to ensure each family and child is treated with respect, compassion, and the best medical care possible. To get a sense of why Dr. Helft and the staff of Pediatric Wizards are so beloved and respected in the community, check out the comments on their page, or visit their website at www.pediatricwizards.com.

🦟 Bug Bites: When to Worry

Mosquitoes and other insects are part of summer fun—but it’s important to know what’s normal and what isn’t.

Most bug bites cause mild redness, swelling, and itching that improve within a few days. It’s also common for children to have larger reactions than adults, especially with mosquito bites.

However, spreading redness, fever, drainage, increasing pain, or swelling that continues to worsen could be signs that your child should be evaluated.

A little itch is usually normal. Knowing when a bite needs medical attention can help keep summer adventures safe and worry-free. 💜

Have mosquitoes found your family yet this summer? Let us know below! ⬇️

😴☀️ Summer break is in full swing… but sleep shouldn’t take a vacation!

We know summer often brings later bedtimes, sleeping in, and a break from the usual routine. While a little flexibility is perfectly okay, quality sleep is still essential for growing bodies and minds.

A consistent sleep routine can help children:
✨ Feel happier and more rested
✨ Improve focus and attention
✨ Support healthy growth and development
✨ Keep their immune systems strong

💜 Has bedtime shifted at your house since school let out? Tell us in the comments!

Traveling this summer? ✈️☀️
Don’t forget to pack a pediatric travel kit before you head out on your family adventures! 🧳💜

Be prepared for the unexpected with:
💊 Fever reducer
🩹 Bandages + antibiotic ointment
🌡 Thermometer
🤧 Antihistamine

Because sick kiddos and minor accidents don’t take summer vacations. 😉

Pro tip: Keep all medications in your carry-on or an easy-to-reach travel bag!

Safe travels from your friends at Pediatric Wizards 🧙✨

Water fun and safety go hand in hand!
Always keep a close eye on children near pools, lakes, beaches, and even bathtubs. Drowning can happen quickly and silently.

💦 Water Safety Reminders:
• Never leave children unattended near water
• Use properly fitted life jackets
• Designate a “water watcher”
• Learn CPR
• Teach kids to swim early

A safe summer is the best summer! 🩵

National Start Over Day: Parent Edition 💜

Finish this sentence:
“If I had a START OVER button today, I’d use it when_________.” 👇😂

Hot weather + outdoor play can raise the risk of dehydration in kids. ☀️💧

Offer water before they feel thirsty, pack a water bottle wherever you go, and watch for signs like dry lips, low energy, or dark urine.

Try to limit sugary sports drinks — for most kids, water is the best choice!
